The Premier League has announced that Sky Sports and BT Sport have won the UK television rights for 2016-2019 for a total value of £5.136billion.

Sky Sports were awarded the five packages to show games on Friday evenings, Saturday afternoons, Sunday afternoons and Monday evenings.

The deal represents a 70% increase on the previous contract - also shared by Sky and BT - with an increased number of live games soaring up to 168.

Each match is now worth £10.2m.

Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore said: "Premier League clubs deliver competitive and compelling football to fans in stadiums and on television, driving interest levels to new heights.

"Last season saw record levels of attendance with the highest top-flight crowds since 1949/50, as well as increased viewing figures across all our UK rights holders.

"Both Sky Sports and BT Sport have done a tremendous job in bringing the game to the fans as well as providing the revenue that allows clubs to invest in football, facilities, youth development and their communities.

"It is an endorsement of what the Barclays Premier League delivers that these broadcast partnerships have been extended and enhanced today. We are grateful for the continued belief that Sky Sports and BT Sport have in the Premier League and our clubs, both as a sporting competition and organisations to work with."
